I've searched the inernet and can not find this problem anywhere so i am hoping someone will know what i can do to resolve this.

On booting up Windows XP i get 9 occurances of "Preparing to Install", which all eventually disappear. They appear on each bootup.

I've scanned the registry, documents and settings too.

I've downloaded various programs to see what is being loaded at start time but there are no "program install" routines present.

So where are these "program installations" coming from? Does any one know and if so how do i clear them?

Thank you in advance.
 
I'd start by making sure your antivirus software is up to date and running a
scan. Also, check for malware, download, install and run Ad Aware:
